For Alan Boudreau, chief executive officer and founder of Corona-based Boudreau Pipeline Corp., his company’s nearly 20 years of success comes down to one thing: people. Proving his point, Boudreau Pipeline claimed a No. 1 ranking in the midsize-company category among The Press-Enterprise’s Top Workplaces for 2016.

“The reason we are still here is we are a people company, not a pipeline company,” Boudreau said in an interview featured last month in The Press-Enterprise’s special Top Workplaces section.

According to the firm, Boudreau Pipeline employee’s practice teamwork and a can-do attitude, and its leadership strives to make all employees feel that that they are valued, that their work makes a difference and that they have an opportunity to use all of their experience in their positions. The firm notes that its employees have directly said that they feel their leadership motivates them to do their best, and that the company’s leadership is eager to teach and encourage new ideas.

As a people company, Boudreau Pipeline makes it a priority to promote from within the organization, continually encouraging employees to avail themselves of mentorship opportunities.

Boudreau Pipeline also strives to support the people who make up its local community, sponsoring youth sports teams and other youth programs throughout the year, as well as various American Cancer Society events, such as the Riverside Relay for Life. The company also donates essential items and sponsorships to HomeAid Inland Empire, a charity aimed at helping to end homelessness.
